One - Ahmadinejad bans "degenerate" western music from public broadcasting. Where did I hear something of the sort ? Like, Germany and Italy mid thirties, may be ? An iranian listener on rai radio3 today was saying "after all is just a boutade, it's an extreme-right guy, iranians listen to music anyway". See ? A nazi bans degenerate art, and people do it undercover. Were it not the iranian president, I'd take a good laugh. The way it is, not really.

Two- Here they come again. A vice minister befriended with Fiorani has (reportedly) popped up, so Tangentopoli (shall we translate: Bribe-o-gate ?) strikes back in a different disguise. After all, Forleo is Di Pietro-like, only much much worse, telling from her CV. To learn more on who's on what side and who's involved with whom, read this by the excellent Scheggedivetro. Suffice it to mention the names : "Ricucci, Gnutti, Fiorani, Consorte. In every big-deal operation, they are where it's at. But who the f**k are they ?"

UPDATE 2: (update 1 is too italian to be interesting) morning news on rainews24: "Israeli soldiers attacked the city of Nablus on a hunt for palestinian militants. [pause] Two missiles have been launched on the israeli city of X, near the Gaza border. There is no report of damage." What a cute example of polit-correct innuendo. Do I need to explain "attacked", "militant", the missiles which "have been launched" perhaps by selfignition, or you get it by yourself ?
